McDONALD — Village Council has approved a change to the income tax forgiveness policy, where residents who work outside the village and pay income tax elsewhere will still need to pay a percentage to McDonald.

Mayor Ray Lewis said residents who work in other municipalities and pay income tax to another municipality currently receive a 2% credit for forgiveness on the tax the resident pays to the other municipality.

“The majority of our residents who are working are not currently paying village income tax,” Lewis said.

Of the village’s 3,000 residents, he said, around 1,200 tax returns are from working residents paying some form of income tax. The majority of these 1,200 taxpayers do not work in the village and pay income tax to another municipality and nothing to the village.
